Centipede Eyes! Yummy!

Book Excerpt

Insane-O-Tron

A whole bug bazaar existed right where the sidewalk began its descent toward the driveway.

Ernie saw a pair of honeybees buying pollen, a praying mantis chewing the head off of a ground beetle, and a drunk mosquito puking blood outside of a bar. Ernie’s mom stopped and bought some centipede eyes for Ernie and his little brother. Ernie loved the way they popped open and gushed puss and blood in his mouth when he bit into them. They were his favorite candy.
